People at Centre Stage: evaluation summary report

This report presents the results of an evaluation of consumer-directed community aged care. Consumer-Directed Care (CDC) is central to the aim of rendering community aged care more flexible and responsive. In Australia, it builds on experiences of consumer-directed community-based disability care and is intended to offer greater decisional authority to care recipients over the services they receive. Since the 1990s, there has been growing interest among Australian community care providers, service users, and policy makers to ‘modernise’ and reform community aged care. A suite of reports were commissioned that highlighted the facts that: fragmented programme arrangements in community care create planning and operational difficulties and inefficiencies; the service provision model is too complex, making it difficult for lay people to access the services they need or are entitled to; funding gaps exist throughout the care pathways; the system is inflexible and unresponsive to transitions in people’s lives and/or illness trajectories; the needs of a significant minority of care recipients are not sufficiently addressed, resulting in poor quality of care as well as resource wastage. The People at Centre Stage (PACS) project aimed to address some of these issues. The aim of the project was to—within the limitations of current legislation and guidelines—develop, implement and evaluate a community aged care model that gives care recipients with more complex needs the option to have as much control of their own care as they aspire to and feel comfortable with. The project intended to offer a continuum of care ranging from customary case management to CDC. This summary report provides a brief outline of the results of this evaluation. It is structured in two parts: following a brief overview of the PACS model, Part 1 outlines the key findings from the quantitative analysis, while Part 2 offers an overview of the qualitative findings. Part 2 deals exclusively with the experience of people participating in the intervention group

Rationing can backfire : the day without a car in Mexico City

In November 1989, Mexico City's administration imposed a regulation banning each car from driving on a specific day of the week. The regulation has been both popular and controversial. Some feel that it is a reasonable concession aimed at alleviating congestion and pollution problems. Others feel it is both inefficient and unfair: inefficient in the way most rationing systems are inefficent, and unfair in that it is costly to some and easily avoided or accommodated by others. Some feel that it may also be so inefficient that it is counterproductive. The authors found evidence to support that view. Many households bought an additional car to get additional driving permits, and the amount of driving increased. Greater use of old cars and increased weekend driving may have contributed to the disappointing results of Mexico's one-day ban on driving: high welfare costs and none of the intended benefits.Roads&Highways,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Financial Crisis Management&Restructuring,Country Strategy&Performance,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Roads&Highways,Financial Crisis Management&Restructuring,Transport and Environment

The Translocal Event and the Polyrhythmic Diagram

This thesis identifies and analyses the key creative protocols in translocal performance practice, and ends with suggestions for new forms of transversal live and mediated performance practice, informed by theory. It argues that ontologies of emergence in dynamic systems nourish contemporary practice in the digital arts. Feedback in self-organised, recursive systems and organisms elicit change, and change transforms. The arguments trace concepts from chaos and complexity theory to virtual multiplicity, relationality, intuition and individuation (in the work of Bergson, Deleuze, Guattari, Simondon, Massumi, and other process theorists). It then examines the intersection of methodologies in philosophy, science and art and the radical contingencies implicit in the technicity of real-time, collaborative composition. Simultaneous forces or tendencies such as perception/memory, content/ expression and instinct/intellect produce composites (experience, meaning, and intuition- respectively) that affect the sensation of interplay. The translocal event is itself a diagram - an interstice between the forces of the local and the global, between the tendencies of the individual and the collective. The translocal is a point of reference for exploring the distribution of affect, parameters of control and emergent aesthetics. Translocal interplay, enabled by digital technologies and network protocols, is ontogenetic and autopoietic; diagrammatic and synaesthetic; intuitive and transductive. KeyWorx is a software application developed for realtime, distributed, multimodal media processing. As a technological tool created by artists, KeyWorx supports this intuitive type of creative experience: a real-time, translocal “jamming” that transduces the lived experience of a “biogram,” a synaesthetic hinge-dimension. The emerging aesthetics are processual – intuitive, diagrammatic and transversal
